[Verse 1]
It rained so hard the day I left
The weather it was dry
Sun so hot I like to froze myself to death
Susanna don't you cry

[Chorus]
Singin' oh, Susanna
Don't you, don't you, don't you cry 'bout me
'Cause I, 'cause I'm on my way to Alabamy, baby
With your banjo upon my knee

[Verse 1]
Well now it rained so hard the day I left
The weather it was dry
Don't you know that I like to froze myself to death
Susanna don't you cry

[Chorus]
Singin' oh, Susanna
Baby, don't you cry 'bout me
'Cause I ,'cause I'm on my way to Alabamy
Baby, with that banjo upon my knee

[Verse 2]
Come along, baby true love, baby
Honey, make me strong
Oh, woman when I'm standing near you, baby
You make me feel ten feet tall
[Chorus]
Singin' singin' oh, Susanna
Baby, don't you cry 'bout me
'Cause I'm on my way to Alabamy
Baby with your banjo upon my knee

[Verse 3]
Well I come from Alabama
My true love for to see
I'm goin' down Louisiana
Baby, don't you cry about me

[Chorus]
Singin' oh, Susanna
Baby, don't you cry 'bout me
'Cause I'm on my way to Alabama
With the banjo upon my knee

[Outro]
Oh, give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up, oh
Talkin' 'bout, oh Alabama
With the banjo upon my knee
Honey, oh, on my knee, baby
Oh, woman on my knee
Said but don't you understand?
It's on my knees
